Helper scripts don't run

Support apps

Continuing the discussion from Unable to upgrade any apps: I had other things to deal with and things were ‘working’. This is now escalating as certificates aren’t being renewed.

My YunoHost server

Hardware: VPS bought online
YunoHost version: 11.0.0.14
I have access to my server : Through SSH
Are you in a special context or did you perform some particular tweaking on your YunoHost instance ? : no

Description of my issue

I have still not been able to resolve my issue of being unable to upgrade any apps (apt upgrades work) . They appear to fail because they can’t find helper scripts included in yunohost.

All app installs and upgrades fail with error similar to
./upgrade: line 23: ynh_app_setting_get: command not found
example: https://paste.yunohost.org/raw/icofehojuw

Before I had this problem, I was messing with permissions. But I don’t understand how this could be a permissions issue.

output of some commands I don’t fully understand

namei -l /usr/share/yunohost/helpers.d

output:

f: /usr/share/yunohost/helpers.d
drwxr-xr-x root root /
drwxr-xr-x root root usr
drwxr-xr-x root root share
drwxr-xr-x root root yunohost
drwxr-xr-x root root helpers.d

and
ls -l /usr/share/yunohost/helpers.d

output:

Any help troubleshooting this would be appreciated

Things I have tried

  • server reboot
  • running the upgrade as root
  • looking for the scripts (didn’t understand them but I can see they are there)

In reply to Aleks: I had modified /etc/group (grp was a mistype) I have tried to revert the change but don’t know what it looked like before. (lesson learned back up files before modifying them)

Fixed: In a previous topic I resolved a problem by removing the entire contents of /sbin/run-parts. As I was more careful that time, I reinstated my back-up of the file. Updates and upgrades are now working.
